Those look like stock 2001-05 GS 16s. What size did you get? Lotta meat on those tires.

17" But I have problems guys...I took it on the highway and around 70-80 its shacking like a **************.

I went back to sears and had them re-balance the tires and its still shacking like crazy. I bought Eagle Gt tires

Do you think these could be bent??

Hopefully they used the correct Lugnuts and do you know if the wheels are hub centric or need hub rings?

You probably need a road force balance. I just had Pepboys put on oem 5 spoke 17s for my GS400 and they Vibrate at 65-75, they could only do a standard balance. I am going to Firestone to have them rebalanced.

go to http://www.gsp9700.com/ to find the closes shop that does it.

here's the deal. Sears, great place. We balanced them again and even put a different set of tires on. Pilot sports actually.

Took it back out same crazy shake. Then we took all of the tires off and then we put each of the wheels on the balance machine and guess wat one was off by a lot and one was minimal bent.

Check out how bad the rim was
